Florida Reading Endorsement Alignment Matrix

Florida Reading Endorsement Alignment Matrix Course EDU2324 Instructions for Completion: Please reflect the course number and the name of the course in the appropriate columns. It is not necessary to re-enter these on each line if the same course is used to meet all of the indicators within the competency. The new indicators are reflected in the column. The indicator to be met is entered in the column. If the indicator is brand new it is highlighted in yellow. If the indicator is not highlighted, the reference to the previous location of the indicator is reflected in parenthesis. For instance, the current indicator 1.A.1 is new, while the content of 1.A.2 was previously reflected in 1.E.1 and 1.E.2. If an indicator correlates exactly (or nearly so) to an indicator in the Florida Teacher Standards for ESOL Endorsement 2010, the ESOL indicator is designated with an asterisk. Please note that while only a few indicators correspond exactly to ESOL indicators, there is a good deal of overlap in content of the two endorsements.
